The weirdest looking but BEST tasting fish ever!

On this trip out fishing on the manukau harbour on my Yamaha Waverunner fishing jet ski, the fish I am targetting is the weird looking but incredibly tasty Gurnard. They are prolific in our west coast harbours over winter time and are an insanely good table fish. Today I was catching Gurnard with a style of my own, using Beady-eye Kabura jigs with a tiny piece of pilchard bait on one of the hooks. Manukau harbour fishing can be difficult and can take time to figure out how to catch fish in the murky, high current water and red weed can also be a challenge which presents itself in this fishing trip, and after a while my lures were soon becoming covered in the dreaded red weed which made the fishing very tough.

Thanks for watching Flynn, it's good to be back

Watching your vid waiting for the fog to lift at the beach ramp. Here on the east coast USA we call those fish sea Robbins. Never ate one. Sometimes you can't get away from those things over here.

[@maxrocks00]

sounds awesome dude! have fun

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Good luck out there fishing! I have heard of sea robins, I think they are a slightly different fish but same family, wonder if they taste just as good as these Gurnard?

[@Wreck-it_Ralph]

@@GCJetskiFishing i looked up sea robin and it says otherwise called gurnards! Around here they are usually thought of as a nuisance fish and people don't keep them. You should do a cook video on them. Also I use there fillets as bait. Caught a pb fluke/flounder on one!

[@GCJetskiFishing]

@@Wreck-it_Ralph oh wow that is crazy, they've always been regarded as a top eating fish here, funny how things change in different parts of the world!

Hi there another great video. One question...is your anchor attached to that hand winch/reel thing in the holder at the front? And did you use burley? I heard that attracts Gurnard and other fish if at anchor. Thanks and keep the great vids coming. Still saving for my ski lol

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Hey mate, yes the anchor is attached to that reel, but that is only to store the anchor rope on, the anchor is actually tied off to a rope on the bow of the jetski. I don't use burley, it can work well but it can also attract sharks and rays, and sometimes also plaque proportions of kahawai which can be a real pain if you are trying to catch gurnard

[@Bronzfishunter]

Nice vid man. Gotta love targeting gurnard. Been getting some good sized ones in kaipara at the moment

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Thanks man, yeah Gurnards are pretty fun to catch, specially on softbait gear. What do u normally use to target them??

[@c-sbotha9680]

Great fishing. Are you not worried that the red weed will get in the motor / impeller? You have no IDF on the Yamaha I think. Yes, gurnard is my favorite eating fish

[@GCJetskiFishing]

I've had skis for 8 years now and never had weed block the jet pump, 50% of the time I launch into the waikato river that has loads of weed and still never been an issue not having idf

[@c-sbotha9680]

@@c-sbotha9680 Nice one mate, i'm sure you will love it!

We call those sea robins new york considered A trash fish but good eating,

[@scottholmes8374]

Did you give the young guy at the end a carrot lol

[@GCJetskiFishing]

I only had enough for dinner unfortunately, if I had a good bin full I would of given him some. He actually caught some Kahawai off the jetty

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video man! was hopin to get something good at the manukau this morning but man the sharks r relentless as hell haha really enjoy catching gurnard myself too especially surfcasting but man hard to target from the shore.

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Ohh bugger mate what kind of sharks were the problem? I didn't catch a single shark this trip it was great!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@GCJetskiFishing the good old school sharks its very time i use fish baits that they seem to go crazy for it

[@GCJetskiFishing]

@@BasicFishingNZ ohh yep I know the ones, the can be in plague proportions at times!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@GCJetskiFishing oh yea haha in the past it used to be too much stingrays now its too much sharks atm

[@zhaojason6847]

Hi Mate, is this in Manukau harbour as well where you fish the gurnard? I have seen a few of your other videos that you can catch snapper and trevally in Manukau harbour, may I ask you which boat ramp you used to going out to the Manukau harbour ? Many thanks

[@GCJetskiFishing]

Hey mate, yes this is the Manukau harbour, I use the Te Toro boat ramp on the Awhitu peninsula
